In the preview it looks like she has escaped and Jack and Cole find or catch up to her. (See above.) Must be we will see more of her as part of the plot. At this point, I'd almost like to see her partner up with Jack and Cole, we know she knows how to use a gun effectively.

TL, you mean Dana might not be as bad as portrayed...maybe a counter-spy? Or whatever they call it. Kinda like Tony Almeida?( Good guy/bad guy/never know guy )

Well, yes, like Tony, she could be useful as a shooter but only if she's in front of Jack and Cole at all times and only a few bullets in her gun.

BTW, My hubby has a theory which he is sticking with, he thinks Renee isn't dead, that they just pretended that she died. I like his theory and hope he is right, but haven't much faith in this happening.

Well I'll be darned! That thought crossed my mind too, TL! But only for a second or two! Sure not going to build up hopes, BUT! IF Renee is still alive? Oh my, how wonderful...and Jack will finally find his rainbow & live happily ever after.

Dana, we didn't know what to make of you but you went out with a bang. (Or two bangs to be precise.) Didn't see that coming.Me neither, and must admit it was a satisfying ending to that episode. I felt no remorse for Dana.

Questions for the final four hours.

Did Jack think Dana killed Cole and is that one of the reasons he shot Dana? I wondered that too. Was sure relieved to find out Cole was still alive!

Has Jack gone to the dark side and will he take out everyone who wronged Renee? It seems he's definitely out for revenge, but think it's a temporary reaction. I don't think he's going to take out everyone who wronged Renee. I think Jack's trying to save Madam President from all the damage Weasel Logan is causing & he'll save her & her office from disgrace somehow.

Will Madam President realize the bad mistake she's made by listening to former President Weasel or will she continue down that bad path because cover-up is the next thing to come if she does. At some point, she'll realize it all and she won't cover it up. She impresses me as honorable & respects her duty as President. If necessary, she will step down, imo.

Will Chloe figure out what is happening and protect Jack as she has always done in the past? (I say yes!) Yup. She will. My best friend thinks Jack & Chloe might get together, but there aren't enough hours left for that to culminate. Maybe the writers will give us a hint of it? Hard to tell! But isn't she married & has a kid? Or am I confusing it with Jack's daughter. hmmm...

Will anyone ever find the dead body stuffed in CTU's conference wall by Dana? Sniff sniff...THAT has bugged me! Why hasn't anyone smelled it yet? But wait! We must remember the timeline is in HOURs, not Days. By the time the Day ends, we should be smelling the dead body! yuk.

I am finally caught up on 24. Chloe can't end up with Jack....doesn't she have a husband and a child? I thought they showed them the end of last season. I do think Chloe will protect Jack. I can't imagine the season ending with Jack on the dark side especially with a movie to follow. Then again what do I know.

What's the body count now? I couldn't keep track. Weasel Logan melted like a piece of tissue in the rain. Madame President is in heap big trouble and Ethan MIGHT be able to help her climb out of the sewer she finds herself in but I doubt it.

I don't have a good feeling about the end of this but I suspect that while we think it will be bad for Jack, it will still leave everything up in the air because of the movie.

No matter the preview for next week, Jack will not assassinate anyone.

....Jack & Chloe are both alive!! Just no details. Drat. I imagine Jack went to visit his daughter & family, then off for more adventures we'll never know about. Chloe probably quit her day job to be w/ hubby Morris & child. The worst that happened which still upsets me if I think about it too long is Renee's horrible death. TL, I so hoped your hubby was right that she wasn't really dead & Jack & Renee walked off into the sunset alive and well.

We will miss it as well Rudy! However Jack fans are hoping that a movie is in the works!

24: Is the Jack Bauer Movie a Sure Thing?

Published: May 24, 2010

24After tonight, Jack Bauer is finally going to get a day off — for a little while anyway. Though 24 is going off the air, there are plans to make a movie based on the TV show. It’s supposedly going to involve Jack battling some form of evil in Europe. But, where does it stand?

Executive producer Howard Gordon recently told Movieweb, “The current status of the movie is that Billy Ray has written a draft which Kiefer Sutherland has read, and we’re all working together on the second draft.”

He cautioned, “Now, it’s not been shared with Fox or anybody so there is no official status right now. It’s very much a work in progress. Honestly, the movie division is on the other side of the lot and I don’t know and can’t measure their intentions or their timing, and certainly can’t measure their reaction to the script because they haven’t read it yet. ”

Gordon concluded, “So I think it’s all very much speculative at this point. I think our preference would be to do it sooner than later, of course, and get Jack back out in front of people within a year or two, but I don’t know. That would be just me speaking.”

With Kiefer Sutherland and Fox plotting the return of Jack Bauer, we’re hearing some additional details about the plan.

You already figured this out, but now we can say with certainty: Touch isn’t coming back for a third season. The mystical drama was shifted to Friday nights this season where it struggled in the ratings. Even without a 24 revival, it was considered pretty much dead in the water.

For 24 miniseries/limited series, we’re hearing Fox is actually currently looking at a 13-episode order for the show. For a cable series, that’s actually a full season (heck, for HBO’s Game of Thrones, it’s more than a full season). So that would be a pretty significant potential order to bring back Bauer.

Fox had no comment. Hopefully there will be clarity at the network’s upfront presentation Monday.

Of course, a 13-episode order does raise the question: Will 24 continue in its real-time format, but just follow Bauer over the course of 13 hours? That would sort of botch the title, though, right? Or will Bauer face another 24-hour adventure, but the narrative will skip time? It would be great to see Bauer get on L.A.’s 405 freeway at the end of one episode and arrive at his destination two hours later at the start of the next episode — now that would be realistic action!

Jack Bauer is officially back: FOX has confirmed its plans to bring "24" back to its airwaves next year.

The show will return in the summer of 2014 as an event series called "24: Live Another Day." Kiefer Sutherland has signed on to play Jack Bauer again, with the story picking up several years after the last season, which aired in 2009. There's no word yet on any other casting.

"Live Another Day" will run for 12 weeks and keep its real-time format, but FOX Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly says it may skip hours here and there.

"As [executive producer Howard Gordon] would design the season, the spine of the 24 episodes was really about 12 hours. Those were where the big events occurred, and then there were little twists and connective tissue in between," Reilly told reporters on a conference call Monday (May 13). Each episode of "Live Another Day" will still unfold over the course of an hour, but viewers won't see as much of the in-between hours. "It may go 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 10 a.m.," Reilly says, depending on how the story comes together.

Reilly says the return of "24" grew out of the network announcing it was making a push into limited-run series, and Gordon and the "24" team's frustration at trying to design a feature film based on the show.

"As they got into the feature film, I think they all agreed that '24' compressed into two hours is not '24,'" Reilly says. "Talking about it over the last couple of years, they kind of got their juices flowing again, and when we announced this new [miniseries] franchise, a little light bulb went off for Howard. He said, 'Wait a minute. Why are we killing ourselves trying to crack a feature when this is the perfect format?'"

"Live Another Day" will probably be paired with another scripted series in the summer of 2014 -- Reilly mentioned the drama "Gang Related" as one that might hold until then. Another limited series, the thriller "Wayward Pines," is currently set to launch in the late summer next year and carry into fall.
